Do you also use paper filing to file your tax forms? If so, you\u2019ll want to hear about Form 1096.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can think of IRS Form 1096 as a cover sheet of sorts. It is used for reporting non-employee compensation to the Internal Revenue Service. Read all about the 1096 form, including what it is, who files it, and how to file it below\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-form-1096\">What is Form 1096?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Form-1096.jpg\" alt=\"A small business owner fill out form 1096\" class=\"wp-image-7413\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Form-1096.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Form-1096-300x179.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As a small business owner, you are probably well-versed in 1099 forms like Form <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/web.blockadvisors.com\/1099-nec\/\" href=\"https:\/\/web.blockadvisors.com\/1099-nec\/\">1099-NEC<\/a> or the 1099-MISC form. These are and were the forms to send to independent contractors and vendors to whom you pay more than $600 per year. So, what is Form 1096, and how is it related to contractor compensation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Form 1096 is officially titled the &#8220;Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns.&#8221; It is, as the name implies\u2014a summary of non-employee compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This document summarizes information for certain informational returns that apply to small business owners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Form 1099 (MISC and NEC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form 3921<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form 3922<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form W-2G<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s a catch. This document is <em>only<\/em> used when you&#8217;re filing an informational return via mail. It is not used when electronically filing or filing through a tax software program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick example. Say you hire an independent contractor to help with your business. You pay them $5,000. You then send them Form 1099-NEC to notify them of the amount you paid to them. But you\u2019ll also file Form 1096 with the IRS to summarize information on the 1099-NEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A word to the wise\u2014you could file multiple 1096 tax forms. In fact, you should submit a separate Form 1096 per informational return (see the items in the list above). So, if you had two employees in addition to your one independent contractor, you would mail a Form 1096 with the Form 1099-NEC, and you would mail a Form 1096 with the two W-2s.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-files-irs-form-1096\">Who files IRS Form 1096?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This form is exclusively for any business owner who files paper Forms 1097, 1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, 5498, and W-2G. If you file any of those forms\u2014and paper file\u2014you\u2019ll likely have to file IRS Form 1096. Employees don\u2019t need to file this form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-form-1096-instructions\">Form 1096 instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1096 tax form is a one-page document with multiple parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In part one, you\u2019ll need to fill in your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Business name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employer Identification Number (EIN) \/ Social Security number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Name of person to contact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email address, phone number, and fax number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total number of information tax returns transmitted with this form<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Federal income tax withheld<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total amount of reported payments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In part two, you\u2019ll fill in the type of document you\u2019ll attach to Form 1096. There should only be one \u201cX\u201d marked, as you have to file a separate Form 1096 for each corresponding form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This form also requires you to fill out a signature, title, and date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-get-form-1096\">Where to get Form 1096<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/order-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">order Form 1096 from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)<\/a> or call during normal business hours to request it.\u00a0You cannot download this document from the IRS website. The official printed version of Form 1096 is scannable and read by a machine using optical character recognition equipment. You cannot file Form 1096 or Copy A of Forms 1099 or 3921 that you print from the IRS website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound like a lot of work?

Most likely, you\u2019ll already have what you need to complete it by this date.
